Bath Building Society has appointed Richard Ingle as its new chief financial officer, replacing Tom Leach who left recently to join Monmouthshire Building Society in the same role.
Richard, pictured, whose appointment is subject to regulatory approval, will join on 22 August from the Bristol-based UK subsidiary of sustainable bank Triodos, where he has been CFO for just over four years.
Prior to that he was head of financial management for the banking division of Swindon-headquartered Nationwide Building Society.
Richard is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and holds an international MBA.
He is also a trustee of Gloucestershire Community Foundation and chairs its finance and investment committee.
Bath Building Society chief executive Kevin Gray said: “We are delighted to have someone of Richard’s calibre and experience joining the Society.
“I have no doubt that he will make an excellent contribution and be part of a successful proven executive committee able to take the society into the next chapter of its history.”
Bath Building Society was established in 1904 to offer savings and mortgages to the local community. Today it has more than 20,000 savers and 1,200 mortgage customers.
It employs more than 60 staff in its Queen Square head office and two branches in the city. It also has a presence in a number of agency offices across the West of England.
